Some homes are special because of the house. Others are special because of the setting. This one has both. Tucked behind the gates of one of Charlotte’s most sought-after communities, this custom home sits on more than 2 acres of beautifully private grounds, just minutes from one of the area’s most exclusive golf clubs. With roughly 5, 000 square feet and a full finished basement, the home offers a level of space and flexibility that is increasingly hard to find. The main level is thoughtfully designed for everyday living as well as entertaining, with generous living spaces and an easy flow toward the backyard. Downstairs, the finished basement takes the possibilities to another level. With its own separate garage, kitchen, living area, and laundry, it truly feels like a second home within the home. It is ideal for guests, extended family, a private retreat, recreation or simply having room for whatever life brings. Then there is the backyard. The pool area is the centerpiece of the property and feels like a private resort tucked into the trees. The pool and hot tub are surrounded by beautiful stonework and dramatic waterfall features, creating a setting that is equally suited to a summer afternoon with friends or a quiet evening at home. It is the kind of outdoor space that makes you want to stay awhile. The combination of acreage, privacy, a gated setting, custom construction, a second garage, an expansive finished basement and a truly special pool is what makes this property stand out. There is room here to spread out without giving up the convenience of being close to Charlotte’s best golf, dining and amenities. If you have been looking for a home that offers something more than another beautiful house on another beautiful lot, this one deserves a look. The setting is hard to replicate, the outdoor living is exceptional, and the flexibility of the home gives you options that few properties can.
